Top London Theater, Shows & Musicals

Whether you're a longtime musical theater fan or a first-timer, don't leave London without seeing a show on the West End, one of the world’s premier theater hubs. From Le Miserables to The Lion King, here are the top theater shows to see in London.

I highly recommend this show. However, when choosing your seats, the theater is more intimate than anticipated, therefore there is really not a 'bad' seat. My suggestion on selecting seats- do not get the seats overlooking the stage on the side. You will only have partial view of the stage unless you lean over the ledge. Other than that- no complaints.

This was a very good value - have attended many plays and events like this ....... very good tickets; however, dinner was disappointing - better off with just the play tickets - as you are on your own the entire time......... without much clarification of where to go or when!

Secure your spot at the Tina Turner theatre show, one of the most highly-anticipated shows to hit the West End, by booking your ticket in advance. Follow the story of Tina Turner’s humble beginning in Tennessee to her status as queen of rock’n’roll during this high-octane stage show, which features many well-known songs. Three seating options and a pre-theater dinner upgrade are available.

Enjoy one of the most epic musicals on stage with a ticket to the ‘The Lion King’ at London’s Lyceum Theatre. An adaptation of Disney’s hit 1994 film, the show tells the story of young lion Simba as he fights to reclaim his place as King of the Pridelands. Set against the plains of Africa, and exploding with color, effects, and songs by Tim Rice and Elton John, the show thrills adults and children alike. Make the evening extra memorable when you upgrade to include a mouth-watering pre-show dinner.

Book your seat for the spectacular ‘Wicked The Musical’ London production at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. This big-hearted musical tells the story of the two polar-opposite witches of L. Frank Baum's tale, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,’ bringing their unlikely friendship alive with jaw-dropping technical wizardry and unforgettable songs. With its powerful atmosphere and poignant storyline, the 'Wicked' show has been casting a spell on adults and children since its opening. Choose from standard or top-price seats, and upgrade to enjoy a delectable 2-course Italian dinner before the show.

Immerse yourself in the tragedy of ‘The Phantom of The Opera’ at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London. The world’s highest-grossing musical, this multi-award-winning show features an Andrew Lloyd Webber score that turns its story of a mythical figure from shadowy Paris Opera House into a sensation. Be swept away by the love story to timeless melodies including the rousing ‘The Music of the Night.’ Choose standard-price or top-price seating for this London Phantom of The Opera production, and upgrade to enjoy a 2-course restaurant dinner before the show.

The entire process from ordering online to collecting the tickets at the Box office was seamless. The seating position was the second row from the front; given the position of the stage, this was perfect.

Become mesmerized by the infectious music and loveable characters of the magnificent 'Mamma Mia' musical. Sing along to 22 of ABBA’s most spectacular songs as the entertaining array of characters is revealed; follow the romantic dreams of Sophie and enjoy the feisty attitude of her mother, Donna, during the hypnotic show. Tap your foot to global hits like Dancing Queen, 'Mamma Mia' and 'Thank You' for the Music and leave the theater with a sense of pure joy after the uplifting performance.

Experience one of London’s most loved traditions of seeing a show in the West End. Wicked the Musical has been seen by 50 million viewers in 14 countries and has been running at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London for over a decade. The award-winning show tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. The performance is recommend for children seven years and older and children three and under are not permitted.

My wife and I have seen Phantom multiple times in multiple cities; but this event really stood out. The theater is fairly small; but the beauty of that is every seat feels close to the stage. The production itself was top notch (as expected); but the closeness of it all really made it special.

Let your fantasies unwind at Phantom of the Opera, now in its 32nd year at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London.Adapted from Gaston Leroux's classic novel of mystery and suspense, Phantom features Andrew Lloyd Webber's best known music including "All I Ask of You" and "The Music of the Night."

Head to the Radisson Blu Edwardian Bloomsbury Hotel and enjoy a unique theatrical script, lightning-quick improvisation, and a 3-course lunch or dinner – not to mention shocking service and hilarious theatrical scenes.

Great show!!! Fabulous artists both as singers and as actors. Les Miserables is probably one of the best musicals ever produced. No wonder it is still running after so many years. (Originally performed in London in 1985 and in France in 1980.) Had a nice theater dinner at L'Escargot before the show. Also very good.
Any negative? Just the ventilation in the theater.
Overall impression: A very successful evening.
